Serbia is in chaos! While Prime Minister Djuro Macut calls for dialogue and peace, the streets of Belgrade and other cities were blocked, and the police had their hands full. The blockades lasted for days, with authorities accusing some protesters of vandalism and disturbing public order. The police identified over a thousand people, detaining 79 — 72 for misdemeanors and 7 suspected of criminal offenses. Four police officers were injured, and an official police vehicle was damaged. Incidents were reported in Belgrade, Nis, Novi Pazar, and Novi Sad. The Prime Minister appealed to citizens to respect freedom of movement and order, while the Ministry of Interior urged an end to blockades that jeopardize the safety of all traffic participants. Overall, the situation is far from desirable, and the start of the new academic year hangs in the balance. Will common ground be found, or is more chaos ahead? Jump into the conversation — this story is far from over!
